There are a few issues I'll comment on. You have no doubt read about how Apple slowed down older iPhones as their batteries got weak. I think Apple's intentions were good, but they should have told people what they were doing and given them the option to do this or not. Apple received a lot of bad press due to this poor decision.

The other issue I just read about is that in China they are finding some issues with facial recognition on the new iPhone X. It seems a son could unlock his mother's iPhone X with his face. Apple is investigating this issue, and we'll probably read more about this.
